Thanks for the compliment Mike and everyone else too! She was a little rough around the edges when I found her on the dealer's lot. I saw a diamond in the rough though and put a whole lotta elbow grease into the detailing. The previous owner lived on a dirt (make that mud) road. You can only imagine what the undercarriage looked like. Had 107,000 on the o.d. and needed some serious attention. Had to put on some new brakes & rotors, mill the left exhaust manifold due to a serious leak, get rid of a pile of bricks and rocks in the bed (that's how it was on the dealer's lot), power blasted the underside and undercoated all of it. The dealer threw in the rotors. I basically put about $500 into the repairs. Ended up drivin' it home for $10,200 out the door! Thought it was a pretty good deal.
Since then, I've put some 17" Continental Conti-Tracs on, found a beat up Glasstite fiberglass tonneau cover for $50 and had it repainted to match the OEM color. Pretty sweet now. Also did the homemade K&N cold air conversion. More to come next year.
P.S.
Been checkin' out all of your galleries. Outstanding rides! Looks like I've got a ways to go just to catch up!

Hi Mike,
1995 F150 XLT 4x2. I did a few mods to this one over the years.
5.0 liter
K&N
True Dual exhaust
F350 coil overs up front
One ton overloads on the back
Michelin 31x10.50/15
3:73 Precision Gear diff.
New bumpers & fender trim
Was my daily driver until 2001. I basically retired it to pull my '24 travel trailer for camping 5 or 6 times a year. Bought it with 92k on it in '97. Sold it with 164,800 miles on her as seen in the pictures. Sold it 3 weeks ago
